Well the weekend is over and I am back indulging in my blogging.I have a variety of things to cover in this posting.

As I had mentioned I went to a friends place for a birthday extravaganza, and as I hypothesized it was messy, and to answer your question I didn’t get to make out with patchouli and coffee guy (unfortunately).

It was your normal two days of partying…the booze was flowing, ample food, and good company, hours of corn-hole and over all a great time.I did however get to share a room with patchouli guy.I was pretty pleased with this serendipitous event.I’ll tell you what he looks better and better every time I see him.All I can think is that the women are really missing out on a GREAT guy, and here is this gay guy pining away for him.But, I’ll tell you what I am glad I didn’t get drunk and try to have a heart to hear with him and convince him to…uumm how do you say…fool around with me, because that would have probably ended badly.

He doesn’t even realize that he has a free pass with me.I mean he could probably ask me to do whatever (within reason…I’m not that big of whore) and I’d do it, but oh well.He’s missing out on me!

Here is a picture of me doing a keg stand…please enjoy…also I think my butt looks pretty good in this picture.I don’t normally see that side of me…LOL.Also, I’ve included a song for some fun, all I have to say is JESUS DOESN’T LOVE ME ANY MORE!

I’m excited about the next few weekends that will be coming up.I think I might head home to visit the rentals next weekend, the weekend after that is Kathy Griffin, after that I will be spending 4 days with Lauren and her family at their cabin in NY, then I have a bachelor party to attend for a wedding I’m in, in October.Needless to say I’m going to be a pretty busy boy for the month of August.

Next, yesterday I stopped in for a healthy dose of Coldstone ice-cream flirting.I lucked out the ice-cream guy was there.TIP TIP HORRAY!So I order and make small talk with him then I fall into my old routine; I scribble my number down on the back of my receipt and hand it to him.I did tell him he was a cute guy and that if he ever wanted to go out to “shoot me a text” or call.I did break my routine because we were talking while I did it (which I ordinarily never do when leaving my number) and I’m pretty sure he knew what was happening…I didn’t do my usually scribble and run routine.Nope I scribbled…delayed…then high tailed it out of Coldstone.I end up getting a text from him later that night that read:

“Hey im really flattered but I just got out of a long relationship recently and im not even thinking of starting dating again”

Needless to say I’m a bit deflated.He was really cute.So I send him a quick text back:

“Thanks for the text I appreciate it.My offer still stands if you decide otherwise later.Good luck with being single.”

Sappy yes, but always polite….I do have to say he was much more polite and adult like compared to oh say coffee guy, so I can’t really complain.The downside, I’ve put myself out there again and it kinda blew up again…the upside, no regrets (I at least tried), and no more Coldstone ice-cream…it was the 4th day eating it……blah.

Finally, on a great note, Massachusetts House voted to repeal the 1913 law that Mitt Romney resurrected to stop gays from coming to Massachusetts to marry.There is one more “procedural vote in each chamber before being forwarded to the governor.”Best of all, “Gov. Deval Patrick has said he will sign the bill.”YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (link below)

What I especially like is the statements from Mitt Romney and the Massachusetts Family Institute.

Mitty (that’s my new nick name for him) said if the repeal occurs Massachusetts will turn into the “Las Vegas of Gay Marriage.”I want to be really upset about this statement but I can’t help but laugh at it.I love a good slot machine…hahahahahaha.Well Mitty, if everyone allowed for gay marriage perhaps you wouldn’t have to worry about the Las Vegas of Gay Marriage.Talk about blowing it out of proportion…he’s really good at connecting gay marriage with “Sin City.”Is it me or am I sensing undertones by connecting Sin City with gay marriage….I believe Mitty is saying gay marriage is sinful.I don’t know I’m just reading between the lines.As for Massachusetts Family Institute they are going for a more democratic statement.

“With that protective barrier removed, out-of-state same-sex couples who marry here will sue to seek recognition in their home states, creating a flood of costly lawsuits and further eroding the people’s right to define marriage democratically,” the Massachusetts Family Institute said in a statement.”

Let me interpret what MFI is getting at…ahem…We hear at MFI believe that gay marriage is a sin.Men should not sleep with men and the same goes for women.We are going to try our hardest to stop out of state gays from marrying even though we were unable to stop gays from inside Massachusetts from marrying.We will guise this fear by saying it will cause financial turmoil and many lawsuits in an attempt to make it sound like it would be the end of the world if gays were married.We are also scared that because we are unable to stop gay marriage in Massachusetts other states will see that gay marriage isn’t really the abomination that we claim it is paving the way for equality for gays in the United States.We are going to state that it “erod[es] the people’s right to define marriage democratically” because by democratically defining marriage we mean the church decides what is considered acceptable or unacceptable in terms of marriage.

PROPS TO MASSACHUSETTS PEOPLE AND THEIR LEGISLATION YOU ROCK MY WORLD.Also, don’t forget all the gays can go to New York because you have rights there too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone I hope this finds you well and ready for FRIDAY.I know I am ready.I am going over to OH for a friend’s birthday extravaganza.I expect it to be very messy.Also, the patchouli guy that I have had a crush on since college will be there too.Ihope some fun sexy times will occur but I suspect not, but I’m sure it will be a good time.

Now for a more serious discussion… I was at Coldstone (the ice cream store) treating my sister for her birthday when the guy taking our order catches my eye.He is very cute J tan, a nice cockeyed smile.In fact he has some vague Chris O’Donnell features….I think it’s his eyebrows eyes and lips….off track sorry…So I go into flirt mode…it just happens sometimes, I don’t know if he’s gay or not but there is a slight ping on my radar.I then do what all self respecting gay men do when flirting at an ice cream shop…I play dumb. The conversation was as follows:

Hot Ice-cream Guy (HICG):Do you know what you want?

Sammy: uuummm no…I uuhhh…..

HICG:Do you know how Coldstone works?

Sammy:No not really, why don’t you explain it to me. (Of course I know how Coldstone works, but I’m going to play dumb to keep you talking ;))

(my sister, now completely out of the picture, is just staring blankly at all the flavors that are offered)

HICG: Well, these are the different flavors….blah blah blah…mix…touch my body (oops no I did wish he had said it)

Sammy:Well, that makes sense.(this is where I always engage the boy)What flavors do you suggest (keep him in the conversation, get their thoughts on anything…LOL)

HICG goes on about his favorite flavors; I think to myself that I would like to sample his flavor…..off track…..

I put mine and my sister’s orders in and we continue our conversation.I ask if he goes to school in Erie he says he goes to Penn State, we chat about that we talk about majors….

I note his name tag, pay, give a tip (not only because he is cute but because Coldstone workers have to sing after they get a tip…if I’m not flirting I like to be entertained…what I can’t help it)…and leave.

I now do what any self respecting person does, I do some facebook research….I know you’re thinking oohh Sammy is a stalker…but I would like to say that one, not only is facebook a public forum that can be perused by the public but two, I’m an Anthropologist, and if we Anthropologists know one thing its how to research.

Well low and behold I find him.I don’t make him a facebook friend.I find out he seems to be available, my gay suspicions are confirmed, what also is confirmed is that he is 19.YES 19.

Here is where I’m on the fencepost.Is it weird for a 25 year old to flirt with a 19 year old?(I know what you are thinking, it’s weird you facebooked him) but really.

In today’s gay world are there definite ages that gay men should avoid when flirting and dating.Obviously, we avoid jail bait, but in sometimes limited gay communities we are not always presented with a great age spectrum.Also, I don’t want to go back to Coldstone and flirt with this guy if it seems inappropriate.It would be a waste of his and my time.Plus, I don’t want to be a creepy old man…lol.

So let me know what you think.I am looking for some insights into age appropriate dating?
